Storage Solutions
Information management is a critical business resource no matter what size of organisation. With the volume of information multiplying, at times a single server or a group of servers is not sufficient to manage the business and this critical resource effectively. Storage solutions help protect and access information in a timely manner, designed to suit specific business and operational requirements.
Our storage solutions vary according to functional and budgetary needs, ranging from SAN (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network Attached Storage) and DAS (Direct Attached Storage). Depending on business requirements our Solution Architects can design the right solution for all types of companies, from small and medium enterprises to government entities and multinationals.
SAN (Storage Area Network)
If you require operational efficiencies with real time instant access to large volumes of information and business continuity with data storage compliance then a SAN solution could be your answer. Our SAN solution feature the following:- Enterprise level technology used to address high availability infrastructure using a separate network for storage
- Ideal for true high availability server clusters, machine and storage virtualisation
- Full disaster recovery capability due to the removal of a single point of failure and permits multiple servers to share a single storage volume
- Local access speeds with storage directly attached to server via high speed connection interface
- Large storage capacity with maximum capacity of 80TB for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) based or 24TB for SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
- FC (Fibre Channel) or iSCSI (Internet SCSI) based connectivity options
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
If you require compliance for storage and archiving of large volumes of information, or to share applications and information across the organisation then a NAS solution may address your needs. Our NAS solutions feature the following:
- Large storage capacity beyond that of a single server
- Ideal for temporary or general application and file storage or for specialist consolidated backup options
- Network share based storage on a separate server or device that controls access to the data
- Basic disaster recovery capability due to separation of storage from server hardware, coupled with multiple server access to applications and files
- Large storage capacity with maximum capacity of 6TB for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) based or 1.8TB for SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
DAS (Direct Attached Storage)
Alternatively, if you only require shared information across the organisation and data storage compliance, then a DAS solution could be the right fit for your business. Our DAS solution feature the following:
- Extending a single server's native storage capacity
- Ideal for application servers requiring very large storage capacity, such as video hosting, or for database servers that require high performance and/or for the storage of large databases
- Basic disaster recovery capability due to separation of storage from server hardware
- Local access speeds due to storage being directly attached to server via high speed connection interface
- Large storage capacity with maximum capacity of 80TB for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) based or 24TB for SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
